Interviews
Grand Interview
Your innovative approach to transforming urban spaces through the Fairy Tail Magical bench has earned recognition at the A' Design Award - could you share the initial spark that inspired this whimsical fusion of fantasy and functionality?
Urban furniture, most of the time is practical but due to the resistance requirements, they look a bit boring. I wanted to bring some magic to the environment.
The Fairy Tail Magical bench uniquely incorporates recycled plastic materials while maintaining its enchanting star shape - what engineering challenges did you encounter in balancing sustainability with your artistic vision?
Producing the individual parts and then assembling them was the most challenging thing from the engineering point of view. The easiest way was to cut them into small pieces but i didnt want to have any visible joints.
Your background in electrical engineering and graphic design seems to have influenced the Fairy Tail Magical bench's distinctive aesthetic - how did these diverse experiences shape your approach to creating this imaginative piece of street furniture?
My master degree of electrical engineering was helpful indeed. Despite we don't have any electrical parts here, engineering thinking is very useful.
